Sanderson Group story

Family owned & operated

The Sanderson Group was founded in 1987 by Fraser Sanderson who passionately believed people should enjoy freedom and security in their retirement, along with the rewards of their own hard work.

He decided to build a village of luxurious homes and first-class communal facilities for people to enjoy and his innovative approach has completely changed the standard of retirement living in New Zealand.

If something’s not good enough for Fraser and his own family, it’s certainly not good enough for Sanderson Group village residents. Meticulous attention to detail and an eye for the very best locations has seen this business flourish and multiple villages have been established over the past 30 years.

Several of Fraser’s children now work within Sanderson Group alongside their father. Together they are committed to helping other families make the transition into retirement and ensuring people’s comfort, happiness and well-being are always the top priorities.

Award winning

Sanderson Group continues to set the bar when it comes to developing and operating retirement villages in New Zealand. We have won multiple awards including:

The successful developments carried out by Sanderson Group
